   |  Yeah, the qt4 dependency for vlc isn't very nice
 
 No comment on that, as I don't think I've ever seen a running qt4
 application (vlc or anything else), but ...
 
   |  and qt4 didn't install correctly at all (pkg/40461).
 
 I haven't had a problem building qt4-libs (I see I have binary packages
 built Feb 12, June 16, Jul 2, Jul 4, and Jul 10 (current vers,
 the earlier ones were earlier pkg versions) - all built with PKG_DEVELOPER
 set, so all the checks should have run, and none of them experienced
 the problem you described.
 
 I am building on NetBSD 4.0 rather than -current - but unless there's
 some binutils problem, the library path in the executable (lib n this
 case) is more a function of what it is told to put there, than anything
 in the environment, so that shouldn't really make a big difference.
 I build most of this stuff with all pkgsrc default options

 ps: no real opinion on whether vlc08 is worth fixing or just deleting
 (just leaving it there broken isn't a good long term solution).
